ASCENT
Military Spouse Gathering
Join military spouses from across the country for a three-day leadership experience designed to equip you with the clarity, tools, and community needed to thrive in every season of military life.
What This Is
This Is More Than a Summit—It's a Starting Point
Military life requires constant adaptation—but rarely offers intentional leadership development for those holding everything together behind the scenes.
The ASCENT Spouse Gathering is designed to change that.
Hosted in partnership with the Air & Space Forces Association, this inaugural event brings military spouses together for focused growth, real connection, and practical leadership tools that apply directly to everyday life.
